In another time, there would have been questions. In another time, there might have been answers. But then again, in another time there were independent journalists.

In another time, there would have been outrage. In another time, there would have been headlines. But then again, in another time, there were relentless reporters.

But in our time, in the media, there are very few questions. In our time, in the media, there are even fewer answers. There is no outrage, and there are no blaring headlines. In our time, the government has a free hand to act with impunity and without accountability. But then again, in our time, George Bush and his PNAC cohorts are in power.

In our time, the public remains shamefully uninformed. In our time, the distractions, diversions, deceptions and delusions permeate the media. In our time, not asking is patriotic, and not knowing is the norm. If that continues, we will run out of time, in our time.

In our time, someone has to pick up the gauntlet. In that hope, TvNewsLies will review some of the questions that demand answers. We challenge the corporate media to openly and vigorously publicize the secrecy and stonewalling that have surrounded each of them. We challenge the media to pursue the answers to any or all of these questions, so that we may know the truth before the next presidential election. We also challenge the media to explain why we will not know the answers, at least not in our time.
